If you
have set up a new office and have a
wireless network at your premise, a wireless modem will be required
to organise the system for printing. To start with the central
printer sharing process, you first need to make sure that the
computer as also the printer, are switched on. Connect the printer
with any one of the computers in the network. You also need to verify
that latest printer drivers are installed. If you do not find these,
simply download them from the printer brand’s website.
- Once the drivers are installed, click on the ‘Start’ tab on the connected computer’s desktop and go to Control Panel. Look for ‘Printers’/ ‘Printers and Other Hardware’ icon in this window
- Click on the icon, select the printer that you want to configure with your computer. Right click on the chosen printer’s icon and then choose ‘Sharing’ option. Then click the ‘Share this Printer’ tab, choose a share-name for your printer and then click ‘Apply’ and ‘OK’.
- You would then have to add the shared printer on each computer (from where you intend to give print commands) within the network. Ensure that all PCs are well connected to the wireless network before you go to control panel for printer configuration.
The
guidelines mentioned here can be sued to share a printer on computers
with Windows XP or OS versions between Windows Vista and XP. For the
best results, also ensure that you use good quality printer cartridges.
